Reconnect with your digestive area.
The roll helps with peristalsis and movement in the digestive system. Personally, given my past illness, this practice has been very nurturing for me. It has allowed me to reconnect and feel again in my digestive area.
It also aids us in backbends when we want to lengthen out of our lower spine. The roll encourages us to lengthen the tailbone and release the pressure from the low back. While going over the roll can be uncomfortable at first, the benefits are worth every breath we are there.
